Faces...

Nobody could tell , how many faces he has!!

Bonjour les amis!! Hello friends!!

Another thought another experience and another post. Bike rides for me are the easiest ways to calm and freshen up . Its the festival of holi tomorrow. The festival of colours as celebrated in India . The markets are flooded with all the possible colours . Handmade hats decorated with gift wraps , ribbons etc. One could easily notice the reflection of pink,red,yellow,green in the tiny eyeballs of kids around yelling on top of their voices for their favourite playful items. I saved myself twice from the water balloon wars . All of this is just hilarious! Kids are on full gear. 

That's not all I saw . I saw adults preparing for the D-Day in advance. Crowds of men raising there hands pointing out to the counter of the wine shops trying to have their chance to grab a favourite brand. Saw women in the markets at the grocery stores , the vegetable stalls bargaining to save money and speeding up for their chance to get done with the shopping. 

A few common things they had - 

A hunger to achieve!! For kids convincing their parents by any means and getting their favourite stuff was an achievement. For men reaching the counter and finally carrying away the wine bottles home was an achievement. For women saving those tits and bits of money and shopping the requirements in a budget was an achievement. Oh God!! So much rush!! 

This rush was a part of everyone's day. For the vendors for the shopkeepers for the dads and moms for the kids and teenagers. Well, at the end everyone's gonna have a great time. 

Something really amazing and pleasing to notice was the families on the signals. They'd all had that contented smiles on their faces. No matter their lives were controlled by those traffic lights. Red means there's a chance and green says go away but today in their ruthered houses with no lights no facilities they had a full supply of energy and love and happiness. There children had those hats made out of papers, some colours which their parents saved for them, and most importantly a smile. They were happy enough to overlook what the other kids were dressed up like or how many pumps and toys their parents were buying them. They were just happy,happy enough to say happy!

These kids living on the traffic signals with their parents don't get a chance to go up to a stall and buy themselves a toy worth a fortune. They don't get choices all they get is a chance, a chance to find some waste products thrown by the people out of their cars. I have actually seen them picking things from the way and make toys out of wastes. Candy wrappers are an attractive piece for them. What's waste for one is useful for the other. 

Everyone has its own mask. Nobody's smile is gonna last forever , nobody's gonna be healthy or sick or rich or poor or beautiful or not so beautiful or alone forever. Things will change sooner or later. All we can do is enjoy the moment and live for it. People have their faces tired face, happy face, sick face , sexy face, loving face , hating face , fake face and all sorts but these faces keep changing or exchanging. What we can do is meet someone wear the same face live that moment and off you go .... FORWARD ! 

Let the world move and the time go on in circles...... Just sit by the river and watch them fishing!
